A lot better than people were making it out to be. People out there thinking he was going to eclipse CC's record.

Ellsburry is going to command more money than 75/5. He's going to get Crawford like money and he's probably not going to resign with the Sox and will not sign an extension... So you don't really have a point.

Carl Crawford money is dumb (for Crawford, it was always a terrible contract - megastar contract for a decent player). If they can't get Jacoby for under $17m/y, they should pass probably pass because his value is $75m/5y right now ($120m/7y if they keep him until the end of the year and he stays healthy and plays at or around his 2011 level).

I'm not arguing against trading Ellsbury. I'm arguing about giving ******* Victorino (who should be looked at as a 4th/platoon OF on a team like the Red Sox or Yankees) $13m/y to replace Ellsbury and acting like you're not handing out a contract that's worse than what you'd give Ellsbury.

Bringing Greinke into a big market is a huge risk, but I think he'll be fine with the Dodgers since no one in LA cares about sports outside of the Lakers.

Well until the bankruptcy stuff the dodgers were one of the top teams in attendance every year so....???

Probably was referring to the media and public perception aspect of it.

I could see that, yeah outside the Lakers the media could give two shits most of the time.
